Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an enumeration of the ferns and other seed plants found in Guam. Over 500 species are included, 61 of which are endemic. Furthermore, there is an analysis of the introduced species found in the island, revealing a total of 314 non-native species, 113 of which (possibly more) originated in the Americas, while 112 are of Old World origin. The study reveals that the American species were largely introduced during the galleon trade period of the Spanish colonial period (1521-1815). The book concludes that Guam has served as a way station for the distribution of various plant species, especially American weeds, to other Pacific islands.
